Caution: The XM Connect and Play is for use only with XM Ready home and portable audio systems. It will not
work with any product that does not say “XM Ready” or that is for automotive use. Use your XM Connect and
Play only with approved XM Ready audio systems and accessories. Do not modify wires or other components in any way.
Doing so could: a) cause harm to you or others; b) damage your XM Connect and Play and/or XM Ready audio system or;
c) void your product warranty.
The XM Satellite Radio service is broadcast to you from
satellites in orbit over 20,000 miles above the earth’s
surface. XM also has installed a network of terrestrial
repeaters across the country to enhance satellite signal
strength.
Although the XM Connect and Play can be mounted
outdoors, it is usually not necessary. Most users simply
place their antenna in the windowsill of a south-facing
window with no obvious obstructions to the sky. Try various
locations for your XM Connect and Play as you may be
surprised at the range of options you have.

FCC Information
The XM Connect and Play is the only component you need
to get XM through your XM Ready audio system. With
power to your XM Ready audio system turned OFF, simply
connect the end of the antenna cable to the port on the
back panel of your XM Ready audio system labeled “XM.”
A one-time activation fee is required to establish an account and
activate service with XM Satellite Radio. Applicable activation
charges will be added to your first bill.
Turn on the power to your XM Ready audio system. Choose
XM as the input source per instructions in your XM Ready
audio system’s user manual. Tune to Channel 1, the XM
Preview Channel.
Move your antenna to various window locations around
your home to see where the best reception will be
received. Most XM customers place the antenna in a
south-facing window with a clear view to the sky. There are
two ways to confirm that you have strong signal reception:
Note: The optional CNP-HEXT Connect and Play extension cable
is available for installations requiring additional cable length.
Note: Carefully check your XM Satellite Radio ID.
The letters I, O, S, and F are not used.
Once you can hear the Channel 1 broadcast clearly and consistently,
you are ready to activate your service
1. Signal strength meter: Some XM Ready systems display
a signal strength meter for determining signal strength.
Refer to your XM Ready audio system’s user manual for
more information. Otherwise, use the Preview Channel
to determine if you are receiving the signal.
2. Hear XM Preview Channel: If you are tuned to Channel 1
and hear the audio, you are receiving satisfactory signal
strength to receive the XM service. If you do not hear
any audio, it means your antenna is not receiving an
adequate satellite or terrestrial repeater signal and must
be moved to a more appropriate location.
1. Before activating XM service, make sure your XM equip-
ment is tuned to the XM Preview Channel (Channel 1).
2. Determine your eight-character XM Satellite Radio ID
number by referencing the label on your XM Connect and
Play packaging, rear cover, or by selecting channel 0. The
ID number will appear on the display. Write the number
here:
3. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service. Make sure you
have a major credit card and your XM Satellite Radio ID
number handy.
